The Time War (non-tech post)

This is to warn anyone that I will be forced to use possibly unreliable fan sources for information on this paper. Considering the topic I have chosen is completely from fiction, this is why I will have to rely on the fan base for any and all information that will be within.

I have chosen the Time War, as a topic. However, if the information is not available or has never been available I will be forced to change my topic to something more in the realm of possibility.

One of the thought causes of the Time War, was when the fourth Doctor was sent back through time by the Time Lord Ferain in order to alter the Daleks or destroy them completely.

The main after affect was the total annihilation of many worlds and species along with almost all of the time lords and Daleks that the world would ever see, except for a few survivors that is. With these survivors, you see what the Doctor Who series has today. Only two Time Lords, a handful of Daleks, and scarcely any other species that were destroyed by the moment.

All I could find is what happened before and after the time war, all of the rest of the information was either implied or simply not there. Most of the time war is terribly unclear, only glimpses of what has happened are shown to the viewer, reader, or listener. Why this is, I do not know. I only wish the writers would find some way to explore this rather large plot device we have not been allowed to see. It’s almost as if the time war is hidden behind a “Do Not Enter!” sign that will not be lifted any time soon.

But anyway this is a short piece I decided to do, not knowing what I would find. Since I could not find most of the required information I have decided to keep this topic up to the future writers of the series, and hope that it was not lost with the old.

FIRST! (new review): Time to escape the Fallout

So, I know its an old game but I still love it. It won game of the year in 2008 and is a game I think still holds up, today I will be reviewing Fallout 3! This game won because of its openness, the story telling, the dlc (downloadable content), the way it is played, and well... the VIOLENCE! In all seriousness though, this game can be anything you want, as long as your willing to protect yourself. You could just horde things and sell them, kill anyone who gets in your way no matter what, be essentially a white night, or just blaze through the rather large story and the dlc stories that are fairly cheap to buy now anyway. There are downsides however, I mean when are their not. The V.A.T.S system allows auto-aiming, which while being a good thing also takes you out of the zone, it just breaks the immersiveness for me. Than theirs the NPC's everywhere, it  would be awfully lonely without them, and sometimes they have interesting conversations with each other, but as with Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, they repeat themselves a lot. Even the radio stations are stuck on repeat, so I generally stick to the Enclave station so while I blow peoples heads up its to patriotic music. I dunno, seems more fun I guess. Anyway, one of the points of interest is visiting all of the other Vaults that are scattered around the map, while they are hard to find, they are usually worth a look if you like some darkness added to your story. Most of them make you feel lucky to have started in such a normal Vault. You can even visit the Vault company base, which has a computer with descriptions and instructions for all of the Vaults on the map. I won't spoil whats in each of them, but lets just say you are going to be happy the worst you had was a crazy leader. This game has been a favorite of mine since I first laid my hands on it, the comedy, tragedy, story, and violence of this post apocalyptic world are truly addicting. Where no game is perfect, this game is decent, I would most definitely recommend this to anyone who is low on cash, but has either an X-Box 360, PC, and I believe its also for PS3. If you think my small article sounds like something you would be interested in, it runs around 20 dollars now, and is simple to get into. My rating will be 4.5 exploded pants out of 5.

New Blog!

Figured I might as well make a separate blog for my reviews on tech and gaming so here it is! I am really hoping to get some requests of things to review, and hoping its something that I know about. If not I'll just need to research, and I have no problems with that. You can post a tech or game related question, or ask me to review something (cheap or free programs preferably). Either way I'll try to make one new post here a week and if it gets hits than I will continue. So, until I post again, farewell and good luck!

Oh and I forgot to mention, if this is the first post of mine you have read this is a link to my other posts, some good tech stuff there but that's just my opinion. http://where-what-seph.blogspot.com/
